Traffic Safety
Do not use a handheld telephone while driving a vehicle. Always secure
the phone in its holder; do not place the phone on the passenger seat or
where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
Remember road safety always comes first!
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area and
always switch off your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it, or
when it may cause interference or danger.
Use the phone only in its normal operating positions.
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to
the phone, and persons with a hearing aid should not hold the phone to
the ear with the hearing aid. Always secure the phone in its holder, because
metallic materials may be attracted by the earpiece. Do not place credit
cards or other magnetic storage media near the phone, because information
stored on them may be erased.
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio frequency (RF)
signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded
against the RF signals from your wireless phone.
PACEMAKERS
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of
20 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with the independent research
by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons
with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm (6 inches) from their
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
